        <a href="<?php the_permalink()">
            <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
        </a>

Add an if(have_posts()) before the while loop. If you have no search result, you can track that and obviously nothing will display if you have no search result. 

if(have_posts()){
    while(have_posts()){
       the_post();
       ....
       ....
    }
 }
 else{
    echo "No result found!";
 }
